Chocolate and coffee are two ingredients which can lift up anyone’s mood…..the combination of these two is perfect match made in gastronomical heaven. Puddings are my favourite…easy to make and yum to indulge. Though I have made chocolate pudding many a times before…today I thought of giving it a flavoursome lift by adding espresso coffee powder and melted chocolate.
Few days back Luvit has sent me gorgeous boxes loaded with nine variants (Dairy Rich Milk Chocolate, Chocolate with rice Crispies, Chocolate with Fruit & Nut, Chocolate with Roasted Almonds, Caramel Filled chocolate bar, Wafer
chocolate in milk and cocoa and Chocopops). Luvit says, “It is a chocolate that’s been specially crafted to celebrate one basic truth- ‘Some Indulgences are best enjoyed alone.’ Forget about breaking off a piece and sharing it with someone else because with me, you can finally enjoy the chocolate in a proper way, the way it should be – AlONE. In this case ‘to Luv’ is ‘not to Share’ and if someone shares LuvIt with you beware! You never know, they might be having a hidden agenda which made them part with the precious me. ;)”

Growing as a blogger, when I received Luvit chocolates, I thought of trying out something interesting with these luscious chocolates. Luvit are just melt in mouth and yum to taste. I thought of adding few grated spoons of Luvit Milk Chocolate to this pudding and to my surprise the pudding has got good color and rich chocolate taste. I love my pudding warm. If you want to indulge or serve chilled just leave the filled cups in the fridge by covering with a plastic cling wrap for few hours. I really enjoy make ahead desserts as they ease my work whenever I am planning an elaborate menu. Stir, cook, chill and serve.
Here are fabulous five make ahead chilled dessert recipes:
Chocolate Espresso Custard Pudding
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups Milk
- ½ cup Milk at room temperature
- 4 tbsp. granulated Sugar
- 2 tbsp. Corn starch
- 1½ tbsp. unsweetened Cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp. Espresso powder
- 4 tbsp. finely chopped Chocolate, I used Luvit Milk
Chocolate
TO GARNISH:
- ½ cup Whipped cream
- fresh Cherries
- few Luvit Crazypops
PREPARATION:
- In a small bowl, mix in ½ cup of milk with cocoa powder and corn starch. Whisk to avoid lumps. Run this mixture through a strainer and set aside.
- Add milk to a sauce pan and bring it to boil. Once the milk starts to boil, reduce the flame and whisk in sugar and Espresso powder.
- Stir continuously to avoid scorching the bottom of the sauce pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on low flame. Now add in semi-sweet chocolate along with cocoa and corn starch mixture from step 1.
- Stir until the pudding starts to thick and coat back side of the spoon. Run this mixture through a strainer to avoid lumps and pour it into the desired cups or glasses.
- You can serve this pudding warm or chilled by garnishing with swirl of whipping cream topped with fresh cherry and Luvit Carazypops or you can even garnish with chocolate curls.
- Add love to make this pudding taste ‘Yummy’.
